Kyle Larson addressed Indianapolis 500 qualifying, NASCAR All Star Race conflict

Kyle Larson's participation in the Indianapolis 500 alongside his NASCAR commitments may lead to potential scheduling conflicts with the All-Star Race due to time trials for The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.

Additionally, similar to last year, a rain delay at Indianapolis could clash with the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Last year, Larson skipped the 600 to compete in the 500, sparking debates about priorities and resulting in an off-season rules change.

This year, the Indianapolis 500 pole round qualifying begins an hour later than it did last year. If Larson progresses to the pole shootout, it would clash with the start of the All-Star Race.

“I think I would skip the Fast 6 and head to the All-Star Race,” Larson stated. “It's crucial to compete; there’s a significant amount of money at stake. While it would be fantastic to have a shot at the pole, I’d prefer to race for a million dollars and start sixth at Indy. We’ll see what happens. You never really know how things will turn out. We need to ensure our car is fast enough to even consider all that anyway.”
